Current Canine Rehab Trends in Exercise Prescription
And Four Leg content on Whole Body Vibration
The life updates:
The Christmas tree went up on Sunday. I THINK I'm done my Christmas shopping. Now I hope to do some baking... which I don't really eat, so I don't know why I feel inspired to bake! The weather here has been exceptionally lovely for December... above freezing. So, walks and outdoor chores are much more enjoyable.
I think it's important to reiterate the upcoming changes to FourLeg, and thank you to those of you that have reached out to give me your support. So, here's what happening
- Your price is going down! Some of you will have seen this already. Effective January 1st the monthly membership will be $20, quarterly will be $55, and yearly will be $220. More affordable to stay and learn at your own pace, choosing the topics you need, when you need them!
- Weekly blogs continue and new content will be introduced at a slower pace.
- FourLeg will morph into a library - the most extensive, largest library of canine rehab education.
- More searchable - I'm working with my web designer to make FourLeg more useable as a library... and give it a fresh new look as well.
- I'm not sure what to do with the Forum yet...
All in all, I have so much love and gratitude for all fo you! Thank you for being on this journey with me!
Okay, so on with the show!
Still asking for support!

I need LETTERS OF SUPPORT (mainly from Veterinarians, but I'll take ANY and all of them)!
To be considered a subject matter expert, I am looking for letters that cover topics such as:
- Laurie Edge-Hughes taught me safe & effective use of modalities (such as laser, shockwave, etc.)
- Laurie taught me effective physical assessment skills and how to use clinical reasoning to make a PHYSICAL / Pathofunctional / FUNCTIONAL diagnosis
- Laurie taught me how to plan treatments for rehab cases
- Laurie taught me manual therapy skills
You get the gist.
I am looking for DOZENS of letters. Please! Please! Thank you to those that already sent one. I appreciate it so very much. (Send to Laurie@FourLeg.com)
Thank you in advance for considering my request AND THANK YOU TO THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE ALREADY WRITTEN LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION FOR ME!

Finally! Here it is, the survey results for how rehab practitioners are using exercise for their osteoarthritic patients. The survey was based on a blog I wrote about a month ago subsequent to reading a paper about why exercise is effective in reducing pain in people with osteoarthritis (OA).
Sixteen practitioners completed the 4-question survey.
Question one was tricky. Is ‘in-clinic’ therapist-led exercise for dogs with Osteoarthritis part of your treatment offering? One person said “nope’ and all others said, ‘yes’.

I've put all of my exercises (and some of yours) onto a handy platform - Physiotec! It's a wonderful online resource for delivering home exercise / advice programs.
There are HUNDREDS of exercises FOURLEGEXERCISE.COM already! You can find the exercises, print off a handout, send them a link to the VIDEOS of the exercises. There's
so much! Massage, Owner-friendly joint therapies, Exercises, Advisement, etc, etc.
NOW... be aware that this platform is run by / owned by / billed for separately, by... Physiotec... and the support for the website is via physiotec as well. The MAIN GLITCH I am finding now... is that when you e-mail or call tech-support you will NEED to LET THEM KNOW that your question pertains to
FOURLEGEXERCISE! (Otherwise, it's a bit of a schmozzle to get sorted, because they direct you to the Physiotec website vs FourLegExercise website!!!) Check it out and LET ME KNOW (what you think, your experiences, etc... so that I can report back if there are issues!)
I hope you find it useful! GO THERE... CHECK IT OUT!
